Customer Reviews
Buggy but not its faultThe wind generator actually works well. The instructions are a bit fuzzy, for example, "the straight edge of the blade should be to the right when fixed to the hub." Sure it sounds simple enough, but what if you are on the left of the hub? The blades are not straight, they are contoured, so what the hell? I just put it together like I designed it and it has worked fine. I'm guess just a common sense approach to the assembly works best.The charge controller also clicks. I had to contact customer service to confirm this, but a note in the instructions would have been nice to quell my fears of burning the house down when my wife called me to say the controller was clicking.All in all it is a good product. The last tip is to be sure you're able to mount the turbine high enough to make it worth your while. If you can get it 40 plus feet you should be fine.
Do Not buy this product
Blades will not turn even in strong wind. Self braking mechanism appears to be faulty. Blades are not optimally shaped and are further distorted because of the way they are packed. Rectifier/controller is not very well explained. Waste of my money and I get no help from GudCraft.
